Recently, there is a picture circulated on the Internet, second-hand Tesla Model S only sells 288000, is the price high or low?

The car in the picture is Tesla Model S85, a car that sold for nearly 900000 at that time, but now it is only 288000 for second-hand use, with a five-year preservation rate of about 30 per cent. Tesla was also an imported car at that time.

According to the 2018 report on the preservation rate of China and the research results of the preservation rate of new energy vehicles issued by the China Automobile maintenance rate Research Committee. The five-year preservation rate of medium and high-class cars is 46.3%, which is much higher than that of Tesla Model S, which is less than 30%. It can be said that the 288000 Tesla is far lower than the ordinary luxury brand cars.

However, it is learned from the relevant second-hand platforms that the prices of 14 Model S models are all between 30 and 400000, which is still lower than the preservation rate of fuel luxury brands.

So is it that Tesla does not maintain its value or new energy vehicles do not maintain its value? The answer is that new energy vehicles do not maintain their value. The residual value of pure electric vehicles attenuates rapidly. According to Moore's Law, there may be unpredictable changes in the preservation rate of electronic products every 18 months, while the opportunities and risks of China's own brand pure electric vehicles coexist.

Prior to this, the detailed data report released by the China Circulation Association showed that the value preservation rate of three-year-old new energy used cars had changed to varying degrees in the first two months.

The value preservation rate of three-year-old plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) fell to 46% from 47.5% in April, while the value preservation rate of three-year-old pure electric vehicles (EV) rose to 32.4% from 28.8% in April, an increase of 5 percentage points. Although it is an ebb and flow relationship, the overall value preservation rate of plug-in hybrid models is still higher than that of pure electric models.

On the whole, there is no doubt about Tesla's brand effect. From the data, we can see that the preservation rate of model S has been the highest in the new energy vehicle market.

For 288000 to buy second-hand Tesla Model S also has a lot of netizens reply. The price of the car is 280000, and it costs 280000 to change the battery. Is it such an exaggeration? As the development of electric vehicles in China is still very short, the existing battery technology has not reached a very high standard. With the use, the battery in the car will gradually be unable to meet people's daily use, such as battery life, thus entering the scrapping stage. at this time, the only way to solve this problem is to replace the battery. but now the cost of the battery accounts for a large part of the cost of the whole car (nearly 50%). This is also the main factor affecting the value preservation rate of second-hand electric vehicles.

Earlier, consumers bought an electric car, which was scrapped after the battery was soaked in water caused by heavy rain. when they went to the 4S store to replace the battery, they were told that the cost of replacing the battery was 69000, while the price of the new car for buying the electric car was 65000 after subsidization. it is equivalent to buying batteries alone and higher than the purchase price of the vehicle itself.

If consumers consider that they bought this second-hand car, it will not be long before the battery will be replaced, but the price of the battery is tens of thousands, why bother. In addition, now that Tesla is made in China, the price is more than 300,000, and with subsidies, it is estimated that the price is almost 28.30%. Many netizens also think that it is not necessary to spend 280000 on a second-hand one.

The low value preservation rate of used cars is because people do not recognize the new technology, and the market is not mature enough. in addition, the technology of electric vehicles has not yet reached a stable state, for example, the technology of fuel vehicles is relatively stable, so it is acceptable to everyone, and the expensive battery replacement is also one of the reasons for the low value preservation rate of electric second-hand vehicles.
